Fyi, this is happening in my Nano Berlin Tank and 2 turbo snails are cleaning them up but not fast enough.
Bro,
For BB to work effectively you need strong flow so that no detritus is on the floor.
Also you need a more effective skimmer.
You can add some small PH on the tank floor and try using another skimmer and see if the diatom will go away.

Regards

That's really about it Howard. Just a white bottom and it protects the glass in case of me or a rock slide.
Just a skimmer and the sump will settle some detritus that I can siphon out.


Something I noticed this morning for the first time. The skimmer is barely pulling anything out, you could say it's nothing. Without all the DSB was producing, there's not much for it to do now.
